FOOTNOTES.[1]From Alaska and the Klondike. With thirty-five full-page illustrations and three maps. By Prof. Angelo Heilprin. New York: D. Appleton and Company. Pp. 326. Price, $1.75.[2]Prof. Israel Russell has made the interesting observation that orographic movement may now be taking place in the region of the middle Yukon, about the Lower Ramparts, with the uplifting of a mountain range athwart the river; on this supposition he seeks an explanation for the detail of the Yukon lowlands.[3]Professor Russell, in discussing the flood-plain deposits of the Yukon about the mouth of the Porcupine River, says that "fresh-water shells were frequently observed in the finer deposits." Unfortunately, no statement is made of the types which they represent.[4]Since writing the above intelligence has been received of the location of a rich pay streak on Gay Gulch.[5]Note.—We are indebted to the courtesy of the Electrical World and Engineer for cuts showing the Horry furnace.[6]Note.—We are indebted to the courtesy of the Progressive Age for cuts showing types of generators.[7]Manuel de l'amateur des jardins.[8]The Romaka Siddânta employs, as a measure of time, theGugaof 2,850 years or 1,040,953 days, giving a tropical year of 365 days, 5 hours, 55 minutes, and 12 seconds, which is exactly the figure proposed by Ptolemy and Hipparchus.—Burgess, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society.[9]The term Romakapouri does not necessarily imply the city of Rome; the name was probably extended to Alexandria and perhaps also to Byzantium. In other writings we find the name Gavanapouri, the city of the Greeks (or Ionians), applied to Alexandria.[10]Till then, the Hindus hardly seem to have sought for a common measure of time except for astronomical or mythological purposes.[11]M.
